The Stone

The Stone is a music venue located in The New School's Arnhold Hall on West 13th Street, offering performances in an educational setting with rows of chairs. The space is arranged to direct the audience's focus entirely toward the performers.

The venue was founded in 2005 and originally operated in a former Chinese restaurant. In 2018, it relocated to its current home within The New School's building.

The venue draws musicians and listeners devoted to improvised and experimental sounds. The audience sits in classroom-style rows, creating an atmosphere where attention remains fully on the music.

Visitors should know that food and drinks are not permitted, and silence is expected during performances. Tickets are affordable since all revenue goes directly to the performing artists.

Performances take place only on Friday and Saturday nights, giving the space a rare and special character. This limited availability makes each night feel like a deliberate choice for both artists and audiences.
